CHATEAU MUSAR 2004 RED

Wine Advocate 91 points: "The 2004 Chateau Musar is an equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault. Its balance, combining the nice fruit, elegant mid-palate, persistent finish and backbone, gives it a tightly wound, precise and focused demeanor. Overall, it is an exceptionally graceful, somewhat modern and restrained Musar, bright, with that silky texture I saw in the Hochar we reviewed in this issue, while adding those layers of concentration."
